I buy one every 4 years or so.
I just bought a 05 Switchback to it will be 3 more years for me.
Unless something I just can't live without comes out.

I have several bows and wouldn't mind a few more. I might go shoot that switchback xt just to see what changes they made. I doubt I will buy another bow in 06 though. I really like my Switchback.

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?

I have an 06' Constitution on order that will be used for 3D and spots. I imagine this will be my primary bow to use for everything but hunting. I also just bought a 05' Allegiance. Chances are I will probably sell both the Allegiance, and my Patriot once the late season is over (middle of January) and take the money from those two and buy something else. Maybe an Old Glory.........or Elite Energy? I switch around quite a bit............

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?

Haven't bought a new bow since getting a custom recurve several years ago,but I do manage to lay my hands onone or twousedrecurves every year.In fact, I just got a sweet '68 vintage Wing RedWing Hunter recurve last week. I'd been wanting one for years and the price was right, so...

I might wind up with an '06 bow next year but, if I do, it'll be a longbow that I'll make myself.

I won't be getting any more compounds. Can't stand the stuff the manufacturers are putting out these days.

Count me in for a new bow rig every season, that's always part of the new years excitement for me. Looking forward to my new Hoyt TRYKON this year!

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?

I just bought a new '05 Switchback a week ago, it had been 5 yrs
since my last new bow and it will probably be a few more yrs before
I get another new one since this Switchback seems to be a great
bow.
